On the Road
 

I just found out that the folks in Hollywood are making an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. It's going to be directed by Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries). Here is the cast:

Sam Riley - Sal Paradise

Garrett Hedlund - Dean Moriarty

Viggo Mortensen - Old Bull Lee

Tom Sturridge - Carlo Marx

Kristen Stewart - Mary Lou

Kirsten Dunst - Camille

I'm I the only person in this forum who's interested in this film adaptation?

Pretty much ;)

C'mon people, it's a great book by a great author. It may suck that it has Kristen Stewart in it, but Viggo Mortensen makes up for that.

I personally don't think that even the great Viggo Mortensen can help a vehicle for Kristen Stewart...

Basicly, the characters in Kerouac's book are anologues to him and his friends that he had on the road trips. For Example:

Sal Paradise - Jack Kerouac

Dean Moriarty - Neal Cassidy

Old Bull Lee - William S. Burroughs

Carlo Marx - Allen Ginsberg

I actually thought she was quite good in Adventureland.

They´re filming it in Bariloche, and Kristen Stewart arrived a couple of days ago.

Did you get to meet any other actors?

No, I don´t live in Bariloche, but the press covered the arrival of Stewart.
